Cancer Therapy: Diamond‐Lipid Hybrids Enhance Chemotherapeutic Tolerance and Mediate Tumor Regression (Adv. Mater. 26/2013)

To facilitate targeted drug delivery using nanodiamond (ND) vehicles, epirubicin-functionalized ND/lipid hybrids are coupled to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibodies. The resulting particles mediate tumor regression, and markedly improve drug tolerance in a triplenegative breast cancer model in vivo. Furthermore, comprehensive biocompatibility analysis following intravenous ND administration indicate that the particles are well tolerated by mice.
